February SASSSC Meeting

First a couple items of business...meeting minutes, if you will...


We are switching the Club Party from March to April. We are also changing the date of the party in April. Next month we will do the assignments that we would have done in April. We are keeping the swaps the same.


At our March meeting, please bring 1 stamp with your name on it somewhere. We will swap stamps and get our next month's inspiration from the stamp we pull out of the hat.


In April, please bring a $10 wrapped gift for our party, we will have a gift swap...similar to an ornament exchange where one person opens and the next person can open a new one or steal someone elses. It should be LOADS OF FUN!


Please note that the SASSSC site is up to date. So if you have any questions about dates or assignments, please use our site as reference. If you have any questions after that, please email myself and/or Delia.


Lastly, I got an extra card from Olga this month...so if anyone has an extra of something or is missing something, let me know, we'll get it all straighted out next month.


Now that we've gotten that out of the way...let's talk about what we did and how much fun it was!


We had great food and great company as always...Delia was missing (from her own house again) and Olga was at home...or out of town...or both. Hee hee.



Here's some pictures of the great food

This month Margie won our door prize this month. She got some letter stamps. I didn't get a good picture of her...she was hiding behind her prize.

I (Annie) was in charge of the make 'n take this month. We made some simple Easter Baskets. I was going to type up some instructions...but Laura has done a really good job already of taking pictures of the steps. Please see her blog for instructions. Thanks Laura!!! I love the bunny and flower you used to cover the sides of the basket!

Then after I did the make 'n take, Mary showed us a good tip for the month using the cuttlebug. Delia was the one that came up with the idea for the make 'n take...Mary was just her substitute for the day...showing us how to do it. This is a demo to show selective embossing. You can emboss a shape or emboss a frame with negative space in the middle.

Mary did a good job demonstrating. She also had a little help from Vegas....who broke the handle?!?! WHAAAT!?!?!

Until then...STAY SASSSC!!!
